Take reasons for psychiatric hospitalizations with a grain of salt. I and many others i saw in the psych ward where misdiagnosed. My first shrink didnt have a official diagnoses for me but she went from saying i had weed psychosis to general drug induced psychosis to various other shit. Another guy in there was diagnosed by the same shrink as having weed psychosis as well but he told me that he had spent a shit ton of money on meth so im going to guess it was the meth. Also if they where spiking weed with heroin people wouldnt be ending up in the psych ward because of it as heroin does not cause psychosis. Morphine was actually used to treat psychosis before thorazine and modern sedatives where invented.

I used to hear nurses in the psych ward trying to scare patients with horror stories about drugs and shit that was made up. I dont like nurses that work in psych wards at all they have horrible attitudes in my experience. So ya take anything like that with a grain of salt

I smoked 15 joints a day, it made me paranoid and crazy, cut heroin with a hash if you smoke a lot, it must create psychosis, I was diagnosed as psychotic when I stopped the injections, he told me not to stop that I was going to relapse in 2 months it's been 13 months I stopped the injections and I didn't use cannabis again, we tried to dissuade my wife so that I continue the treatment today I took my head out of the water was real torture it's ruined haldol injections I'm still not 100% emotions libido but this is greatly improved I'm coming back from hell I'm a survivor

Mental Health - Coming off Invega Sustenna (paliperidone)

Hi, I was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia last year and was forced to take Invega Sustenna at 100mg a month for 10 months started back on December 5th 2012. The medication gave me severe anhedonia and rendered me an emotionless zombie who cannot function. I have lost my job and have been on...

I stopped eating for stimulation and pleasure since I find other things stimulating and pleasurable now. I went back to my very bad social media scrolling routines. I find it easier to be interested in videos on YouTube, I like video essays and stuff about science. Love me some Isaac Arthur and his sci-fi concepts and PhilosophyTube. I should pick up my game again or try reading. Reading is hard without ADHD meds. I read a novella the last time I was medicated, it was nice! I miss reading, I was a voracious reader when I was a kid on Concereta.
 
Seen a lot of older posts referencing to the fact the op never recovered all this time later, but if you look at the alt account they came back on they mention that they were going the gym and working part time and thought they were nearly fully recovered the first time. Seems there was more than one set of injections in that time frame they were missing
 
I will say to guys here that anyone experiencing fatigue or anhedonia should get their testosterone levels checked. I just got off the phone with my doctor about a hour ago and despite the fact that i dont have many symptoms i have low test levels. So im going on testosterone replacement therapy. Alot of doctors try and wright you off if you ask for a testosterone blood test but i think its important for guys to get it checked. If i had virtually no symptoms and still have low test levels then someone with bad anhedonia could certainly have it. I managed to put on 30lbs of muscle in the past year and a half by working out and taking protein. I look at this as a blessing as i can now get on test and get properly jacked. If TRT is good enough for Hugh Jackman its good enough for me

Its just a simple blood test and the problem can be very easily treated. I think low test levels are undertreated most times
 
same i vape nicotine and drink coffee everyday multiple times a day and i dont feel either the coffee or the nicotine its just something i like doing

I'm disgusted I knew a person who took xeplion invega for 2 and a half years 27 injections and I told him to stop this shit wean himself off this shit stop this poison switch to medication his mother m 'called he had stopped treatment a month or two ago and his mother called me he was hospitalized again I'm disgusted for him it's my fault

After taking antipsychotics for a long time like 2.5 years you never want to cold turkey xeplion shots even if its an injection. He would have been fine if he tapered over 6 months going to a lower and lower dose every 1-2 months but because his receptors became so sensitized , he experienced rebound psychosis.
 
I’ve been looking in older threads and noticed so far a good portion of people just stop posting in this forum, a good portion do come back and say they recovered or are feeling better and there’s a slight few that say they haven’t recovered after years.

So I just have a gut feeling that recovery happens but the timeline all depends on the person. I do feel like the people that say they haven’t recovered are either on a different medication like another antipsychotic or are just depressed in general. I was depressed before even getting the injection years ago but later got on Zoloft which helped. Everyone is different. Worst case I’m starting Zoloft again if I don’t feel better after trying supplements.
 
I still have parkinsons and tardive dyskinesia after 12 months. I don’t know if it’s here to stay.
I still don’t have emotions. Which I don’t mind because I was a very emotionally driven person.
I miss my imagination. But most of all I miss my spirituality. We are spirits in a human body. And when I got the invega shot I felt my soul leaving my body. Like it was shrinking down.
Just the anhedonia the no joy no satisfaction no motivation. No music. No tv. Just a fat blob potato sack with eyes.
I used to get this insane urge to kill myself. I’ve never had that before. Like it took me all my strength to not do it. Then when it passed I was like phew that was close. Never ever ever have I been like that before in my life.

I am so sorry. When i was in the psych ward there was a patient in there who had really bad pseudo parkinsons. I felt so bad for him. Fortunately you can get better from it and it can be treated. Are you currently on ay meds for it?

I have above average testosterone, probably because I go to the gym a lot.

I got disability now. I used to be a law clerk. So smart. But now I talk like a retard. Slow and singular, like there’s a pause between each word. It’s weird and it only happened after invega.

I used to take benstropine which helped sooooo much with the muscle stiffness and the slumped shoulders like an 80 year old. And it helped my vision better which was weird.

When I smoke cigarettes at the beginning of withdrawal I had the impression of smoking air now I feel the nicotine well it is a good sign of recovery in my opinion the same for the orgasms they were weak now they are almost normal
 
Funny how it causes schizophrenia as a side affect. I always thought that.
  • The 5 most common treatment-emergent adverse events in INVEGA SUSTENNA® group were weight increase (15.9%), headache (11.1%), insomnia (9.7%), schizophrenia (8.2%), and nasopharyngitis (7.1%)
  • The 5 most common treatment-emergent adverse events in the oral antipsychotic group were weight increase (17.4%), schizophrenia (9.6%), headache (8.5%), insomnia (8.0%), and suicidal ideation (5.5%)
